LK 21: 12-19
Today’s gospel is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to reflect on our commitment to the faith we profess in Jesus Christ. Jesus brought us salvation through his suffering and total commitment to the mission of His Father; that he should endure suffering, that on the cross.
St. Paul in his letter to the Romans will describe his endurance through which he proclaimed the message of Christ to the people when he was forming the community amidst different societies. He says, “Nothing can come between us and the love of Christ, even if we are troubled or worried or being persecuted, or lacking food or clothes, or being threatened or even attacked. These are the trials through which we triumph, by the power of him who loved us.” (Rm 8:35-37).
The Gospel today tells us that our sufferings are an opportunity to stand for what we believe in. In other words through every walks of our lives we are called to be the witness for Christ and His message in our lives. So let us live the Christ in us through our every day happenings.
